Q:

Is this the only layer I need for laying 8mm Laminate over a cement floor?

I have just purchased a Dream Home flooring quantity. I am interested in knowing if this underlayment will satisfy the flooring product warrenty regarding moisture issues. The product will be installed in first and second floor living spaces. No kitchen or bath install planned.

This underlayment is approved for use under laminate flooring with no attached padding. This is not a moisture barrier. A 6 to 8 mil poly sheeting moisture barrier should be laid for floating floors for an On or Below grade Concrete subfloor. Overlap seams 4-6" and tape with duct tape. Overlay perimeter 3-4" up wall. Then lay an approved underlayment. Do not lay poly sheeting over wood subfloor.

Q:

will this work along with a vapor barrier sheeting over cement under floating floor?

We just purchased 400 sq ft of 12mm padded laminate from Lumber Liquidators. We are installing this over 100 year old wood floors. Some slight highs and lows in wood. Very little. What type of underlayment should I use before I lay flooring. Plywood or foam? One room is 10' x 25'.

The subfloor should be flat to within 3/16" in a 10' radius. You can find complete installation instructions on our website through the Flooring 101 web pages for easy installation, Type in - -.

Q:

A previous question asked about the VOCs for this product, your response was "All of our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are on our website;For complete MSDS information; Please go to our Website @ LumberLiquidators.com and at the bottom of the page click on Flooring 101, type in your product, enter, then click on the PDF to open." I checked there is no information. Please provide any information on VOCs for this product

Unfortunately there is no MSDS sheet available for this undelayment.Regarding Voc emissions there are more concerns with products in a volatile or liquid state such as; glues, sealers and coatings rather than with dried, cured solid components.This product is safe in its purchased form.Thank you for your interest in our flooring products.

Q:

My condo association requires underlayment have IIC rating of 50 or above, i don't see this number disclosed on the website. May i know if this foam underlayment can achieve this? If no, what product do you recommend? Thanks

Q:

I am installing a 6mm laminate flooring on my 1st and 2nd floor. I have a plywood subfloor. Do i need to use a underlayment that has a mold inhibitor?
